The Skinny Confidential is my favorite blog ever. I love how Lauryn keeps her posts so real and unapologetically honest. This week’s post about success was written by her husband, Michael, and it 100% resonated with me and with what this blog is about.

I know that this isn’t a news & politics site, but these people in Venezuela are freaking amazing. They embody what grit is about: resilience, passion and fighting for convictions. We might have a very embarrassing President (who gets eggs thrown at), but the actual people are badass. Right now, a great and easy way to help is through Venmo. Just Venmo $1 or more to @V-For-Venezuela. The money is going to @PrimerosAuxiliosUCV (First Aid Unit from Venezuela’s Central University) and will be used to help victims of police brutality.
